"There are only two realities in life:..." - Quote by John F Kennedy

“We set sail on this new sea because there is new knowledge to be gained, and new rights to be won, and they must be won and used for the progress of all people. For space science, like nuclear science and technology, has no conscience of its own. Whether it will become a force for good or ill depends on man, and only if the United States occupies a position of preeminence can we help decide whether this new ocean will be a sea of peace or a new terrifying theater of war.”

“Democracy is the superior form of government, because it is based on a respect for man as a reasonable being.”

“But Goethe tells us in his greatest poem that Faust lost the liberty of his soul when he said to the passing moment: "Stay, thou art so fair." And our liberty, too, is endangered if we pause for the passing moment, if we rest on our achievements, if we resist the pace of progress. Change is the law of life. And those who look only to the past are certain to miss the future.”

“The old man laughed loud and joyously, shook up the details of his anatomy from head to foot, and ended by saying that such a laugh was money in a man's pocket, because it cut down the doctor's bills like everything.”

“Roy Blount, who is the funniest person I know, journeys deep into the dark heart of humor and brings back a wonderfully insightful, superbly crafted song of the soul that had me laughing and crying too”

“I love people who make me laugh!”

“It is the same with people as it is with riding a bike. Only when moving can one comfortably maintain one's balance.”

“Make the most of every sense; glory in all the facets of pleasure and beauty which the world reveals to you...”

“Life shoould be touched, not strangled. You've got to relax, let it happen at times, and at other move forward with it.”
